Why does stress build up at transform boundaries?

1 answer:

Tectonic plate edges are not smooth. At transform boundaries, plates move against each other, but since the plates aren't smooth, lockups form. Stress is built up as both sides continue to steadily push against each other until there is sudden movement, where both plates quickly slide until they lock up again. This is what causes earthquakes.

Explain the following statement: A concentrated acid is not necessarily a strong acid.

andrezito [222]

Concentration involves the relative amounts of solvent and solute in a solution, when strength is related to the extent to which a substance dissociates :))

An object located near the surface of Earth has a weight of a 245 N

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

The mass of the object is 24.5 kg and weight of the object on Mars is 91.14 N.

Explanation:

Weight of the object on the surface of Earth, W = 245 N

On the surface of Earth, acceleration due to gravity, g = 10 m/s²

Weight of an object is given by :

W = mg

m is mass

$m=\dfrac{W}{g}\\\\m=\dfrac{245\ N}{10\ m/s^2}\\\\=24.5\ kg$

So, the mass of the object is 24.5 kg

Acceleration due to gravity on Mars, g' = 3.72 m/s²

Weight of the object on Mars,

W' =mg'

W' = 24.5 kg × 3.72 m/s²

= 91.14 N

So, the weight of the object on Mars is 91.14 N.

A paleontologist estimates that when a particular rock formed, it contained 12 mg of the radioactive isotope potassium-40, which

leva [86]

Answer:

$t = 2.52 billion \:years$

Explanation:

As we know by radioactivity law

$N = N_o e^{-\lambda t}$

so here we will have

$N = 3 mg$

$N_o = 12 mg$

now we will have

$3 = 12 e^{-\lambda t}$

$\lambda t = ln 4$

now we also know that

$\lambda = \frac{ln2}{1.26 \times 10^6 yrs}$

$t = 1.26\times 10^6\times \frac{ln4}{ln2}$

$t = 2.52 billion \:years$

During a demonstration of the gravitational force on falling objects to her class, Sarah drops an 11 lb. bowling ball from the t

leonid [27]

The instant it was dropped, the ball had zero speed.

After falling for 1 second, its speed was 9.8 m/s straight down (gravity).

Its AVERAGE speed for that 1 second was (1/2) (0 + 9.8) = 4.9 m/s.

Falling for 1 second at an average speed of 4.9 m/s, is covered <em>4.9 meters</em>.

ANYTHING you drop does that, if air resistance doesn't hold it back.
